“Danger: Zombies!” read the sign taped to the door of dressing room 7A in New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom. Inside, the room had been decorated for its temporary resident, singer Rob Zombie, with posters of Frankenstein, the Creature from the Black Lagoon and other movie monsters. In the air was the whiff of leather that’s been repeatedly soaked with sweat. A bottle of blue Lysol fabric freshener sat on crate near a cowboy hat and a studded jacket. On another case rested the giant skeleton hand that Zombie would later brandish on stage.

It was just another night on the Twins of Evil tour, Zombie’s co-headlining tour with Marilyn Manson. After finishing a month-long U.S. leg on Halloween, of course, the tour heads to the United Kingdom later this month, and then on to Europe.
